Title: Improvements in and in Machinery for Making Wood or the like Flooring.
Inventor: WEHINGER JOHANN
Filed: 1901-10-10
Granted: 1902-09-25
Abstract: 20,287. Wehinger, J. Oct. 10. Loom beat-up motions; healds; lays; shedding-motions; shuttles; shuttle boxes; weft &c. carriers.- Relates to a loom for making mosaic flooring of blocks of wood, or artificial wood or the like, which are secured together by means of wires interwoven like the threads of a textile fabric. Warp wires 23 pass through apertures in vertical bars 25, secured to heald frames 24, which are fitted within vertical guide-ways and actuated by means of links 26 and eccentrics 27. Links 28 serve to guide the link-bolts during the shedding operations. A lay, having an upper bar 40 and lower plates 41, is mounted upon bars 34 to which a vertical motion is transmitted from oscillating levers 37 by means of rods 38. The bars 34 pass through slides 35 actuated by links 36 so as to cause the lay to beat up. The wooden &c. blocks are fed into the shed from shoots 11, which fit telescopically upon channels 6, fixed to the loom framing. The blocks are supplied to the shoots 11 from rows of magazines 1 supported by a carriage 2, which is moved intermittently by means of a draw-bar 4, so as to bring each row of magazines successively above the channels 6. Pawls 7, actuated by plates 9 on a beam 10 through which the shoots 11 pass, are employed for regulating the motion of the carriage 2. The blocks are normally supported in their magazines by hooks carried by oscillatory bars 17, provided with bars 20 having heads which can be displaced laterally by slides 14, so as to cause the hooks to be withdrawn from the corresponding magazine just after it passes over a fixed plate 21 in front of the channels 6. When this magazine is brought over the channels 6, by the next forward movement of the carriage, its lowest row of blocks falls into the channels and thence into the shoots 11, when they are temporarily supported by hooks 30. These hooks are held by arms 31 on a rotary bar 15 mounted at the back of the beam 10. The beam 10 is reciprocated vertically by means of levers 12 connected to the slides 14, the lower ends of which rest upon the lay. The weft wire is supplied from a spool 43, which rotates on a vertical axis within the shuttle or case 42. A spring- controlled bolt 51 engages with a hook 45 connected to a slide which is actuated by the picking- mechanism, the shuttle being disconnected from the slide when it reaches the side of the loom opposite the picking side ; in order to effect the next pick, the slide again traverses the loom, and becomes engaged with the shuttle, which is then drawn back through the shed. During each beatup, the weft wire is firmly held by one of two automatically-acting clips, and is tightly stretched by means of rollers mounted on the ends of the lay. Rollers 61 are forced by weighted levers 62 against the flooring.

Patent GB-190221120-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Method of and in Apparatus for the Production of Liquid Air.
Filed: 1902-09-29
Granted: 1903-09-24
Abstract: 21,120. Pictet, R. P., and Pictet Syndicate. Sept. 29. Vapour engines.-In a process for liquefying air. compressed air which has been filtered, dried, and cooled by means such as those described in Specification No. 19,254, A.D. 1900, [Abridgment Class Air and gases, Compressing &c.] is passed through a coil 3, Fig. 1, immersed in a quantity of liquid air, and is thus reduced to the liquid state. The supply of liquid air surrounding the coils is maintained by passing the gaseous air arising therefrom through a compressing and cooling apparatus, and then through a motor a enclosed in the same chamber b as the liquid air. The same air is thus used in the motor over and over again, and trouble from solidified carbonic acid, ice, and dust is avoided. The gaseous air from the chamber b may be passed through an exchanger, in which it may be made to absorb head from the compressed air which is to be passed through the coils. The motor may be connected to the compressing-apparatus, or the power developed by it may be used for other purposes. It consists preferably of three singleacting cylinders. The pistons are made of a metal which is expanded by heat more than the metal of which the cylinders are made. The motor is placed in an inclined position with the crank shaft and other working parts higher than the cylinder and at some distance from it in order to minimize the passage of beat from the working parts to the cylinder. The piston and valve rods are also made to pass through stuffing-boxes fitted into sleeves z of non-conducting material with the same object. Air is admitted to the cylinders of the motor by a pipe g and a valve f worked by a cam m on the crank shaft. The expanded air escapes by ports h in the cylinder. The period of opening of the valve may be adjusted by means of a right and left hand nut t connecting two parts of the valve-rod, and also by means of nuts yon the valve spindle. Automatic regulation may be obtained by means of a centrifugal governor connected to a pivoted incline 13, Fig. 2, which causes the disengagement of the valve-rod 16 from the valve spindle u at a point depending on its position. A finger on the rod 16 rides on the incline 13, and a catch 17 upon it engages a notch in the spindle u. A spring piston subjected to the pressure of the compressed-air supply may be substituted for the governor.
